What We Think:
It seems that the 4 year wait has been worth it as AG Dolla delivers an eclectic debut album. Throughout the 13 tracks, AG shows off his vast talent as he flows through different musical genres. Each track is so unique! 'Border Control', '3 Wishes', 'Pack It Up', and 'Independent' are all tracks that touch upon real issues that we see today. From violence to AG's struggles as an artist, he's not afraid to share his feelings with the world.

Depth is added to each song with one hot collaboration after another. Sarah McLellan is featured on '3 Wishes' and 'Pack It Up' and her sweet yet powerful voice helps relay the emotion AG is portraying, she definitely completes these tracks. AG also has a touch of Bollywood on this album with 'Dola Re Dola' on his track 'Border Control' and 'Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamana Hai' on 'AG Dolla's Here'.

To finish up the album AG Dolla's got a treat for his Punjabi fans. Amongst all the emotion and rap, AG's track 'Club Crazy' is a Bhangra track that made us wanna get up and dance. AG Dolla's album 'Mr. Shah' has a Bollywood, Bhangra and Latin flair, all matched with powerful rap lyrics.

Best Tracks:
Club Crazy, Border Control and Mamacita ft. Sai Priya

Worst track:
'Independent'We had a tough time determining what the worst track on the album was because the album has some much to offer. 'Independent' is a tad long and broken up with a skit, so to say. The track adds no excitement to the album and can be skipped.

He says...
"This album is my debut to the world, I called it Mr. Shah because it represents me and it's about certain peers. I project managed everything myself. I hope when people listen to this they think that deserve to be here."

Final Verdict:
From its catchy hooks and sick beats, AG's album 'Mr. Shah' is one we'd recommend. This may possibly be the best album by a South Asian MC to date.
